Gideon Kinsguard Shaman's Legacy
Contents
 CHARACTER DESCRIPTION Standing at a healthy 6 fulms, 7 ilms, Gideon is a man who wears his age quite visibly. Tired, somewhat haggard, and all around worn down are probably the most immediately recognizable physical qualities. His eyes bear a warm green ting and his hair is black and healthy, the only thing about him that does not project how old he is. Generally, he can be seen wandering around in thick, long sleeved attire, regardless of the climate of the place he is currently in.
Underneath the fabrics that shield his skin from sight are very grotesque scars, mostly gotten from his time after fleeing Ala Mhigo. Though, he bears many scars from his training as a Shaman when he was younger. The elements did not always respond as he'd intended. Perhaps most notable is on the left side of his torso, ending just above his elbow, extreme burn scars sit on his flesh, leaving it permanently marred and misshapen. It remains one of his deepest insecurities. As far as his personality goes, Gideon tends to be laid back. He's past the time in his life where allowing things to bother him are worth the energy. While he may be loyal to a fault, he also is not ashamed to state where he disagrees with someone on issues. He also regards people with an honest bluntness. If there is something about someone that sticks out to him, he will not hesitate to speak to them about it, especially if it's a perceived flaw. Above everything, he is a father first. All of his wealth and earnings go straight to his two children and grandchildren. He believes himself to be at the end of his lifespan, unfearful of death. So he carries only his wedding ring on a chain around his neck as his most beloved possession. He would never admit it to anyone, but he suffers from a very miserable existence. Though, he remains strong for those who must lean on him.

CHARACTERISTICS[edit]
☞ HISTORY ☜
▼ CHILDHOOD
Born in Ala Mhigo to a renown lancer and a common merchant, Gideon was the eldest of four children. Due to his parents dedication to their work and providing, he was generally tasked with watching his younger siblings and raising them appropriately. To all three of them, he was like a second father. Around the age of thirteen, he became interested in aether and healing, and was taken under the wing of an elder Shaman to learn the ways of elemental magicks. It ended up being something he took well to almost immediately. Every day he would go out and practice, study, and all around better himself as a healer and student. ▼ ADULT
It wasn't until his late teens that he became more comfortable working independently, and by the time he was twenty, he was able to be called on as a mender in his own right. It was during that time that he met his first wife while mending her mangled leg. They went on to wed and have two children of their own. When the King of Ruin rose to power, his wife had already fallen ill, and he was unable to fix what ailed her. However, he made sure to make her as comfortable as possible and took care of her full time. It wasn't until the Garleans came that he was faced with a decision. He could help his children escape and stay with her, or leave her there and get out with the kids so they had their father. It was ultimately her decision that all three of them get out, so with a heavy heart, he abided by her wishes. ▼ CURRENTLY
With both of his children finding success in their lives, Gideon has recently taken to just doing his own thing around Eorzea. Mostly, he will come as a freelance healer to those who call on him as it is his own true skill in life. He continues to support his kids as he plan to until he dies. Otherwise, he does what he can to get out of his own head and live as his wife would have wished him to. ⛓ RUMORS ⛓
